Backing down was not our style though. We were going to stand our ground. Due to the military blockade, things were really bad. Their transmission hub was not even in our town, so Magnetic Clan did not have to deal with it at all. That did not stop 12-001 from coming over. When he was not annoying us, he was getting into skirmishes with the military. Things were in a bad way. I wanted to try to overthrow Magnetic Clan but our clan members made it very clear they would all mutiny if we did something like that. Something did work in our favor. It was that the AEP units were so derpy. He actually lead them back to his clan. Now they had to deal with the military targeting them. All sorts of commandoes and Players were rallied to take them down. It became its own mini event. Because Players were involved, it was obvious that they would be destroyed sooner or later. All we would have to do was wait them out. The military pulled out yet again from Dwan Town. The police force still hated us. None of that stopped us from putting our great music out. We all had time and numbers on our side.
With the occupation over for the time being, we were able to get invites from other main clans. Since they could see what happened to us, they knew that we were worth talking to. The Advocates and one of the Researchers on the continent wanted some alliances. That was obvious. Even if they did not come for Magnetic Clan, it would be bad if they were wiped out by the Conquerors. The Advocates faction clans were Pierce, Water, Wind, Radiation and Void Clans. The Researcher clan that reached out to us was Sonic Clan. We instantly allied with them. Not wanting to be left out, Impact Clan, the other Researcher clan, asked for a non-aggression pact. We agreed to that deal too. We flooded them all with money tools and weapons. We were run by 2 Devils. They could spawn in infinite money and supplies to let them run wild. That just left Heat, Electric, Erosion, Cold, Toxic and Magnetic Clans as Conquerors. It was great for them to get a massive influx of gear like this. The Conqueror clans were starting out from scratch. The other factions were building arsenals to use against them.
I knew that when the time came, they would be crushed by the other 2 factions. Magnetic Clan noticed what we were doing. We could wire them all money, but guns and gadgets had to be transported. When they came to us, it was truckloads of each that they got to take home. Obviously, the Magnetic Clan had to put a stop to it. They told us they would attack the shipments if they came here again. That was fine. They already had what they needed to replicate them with their fabricators. Wiring cash was not something they could stop, so we kept doing it. 12-001 came to us during the evening. He demanded that we go to Volta City. "That is where our clan is stationed. We will have you submit to us there." he said. "Why the hell would we do that shit!? We hate each other." Paul demanded. 12-001 blinked in shock. "You have to! You're a PEP clan in our territory. There are only 2 that haven't sworn fealty yet and you own the other clan!" he snapped. I knew exactly what to do then. I said "We'll think about it. What are you going to give us?" He scoffed and said "Nothing. Do it or die."
